Which Agency Holds a Report from Bangor
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Bangor that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Bangor Police Department); outside it, the Northampton County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Northampton County State Police in Northampton County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's agency list also places one other agency, three campus police departments and three state agencies in Northampton County, each with a records office of its own.
